🚀 Release 0.6.0

Added

• Automated release script with full workflow automation
• Makefile integration for release commands
• VM/Container Deletion: Added delete option to VM/LXC context menu with confirmation
  • Delete option available for all VMs and containers regardless of state
  • Comprehensive confirmation dialog warns about irreversible data destruction
  • Uses DELETE method on /nodes/{node}/{type}/{vmid} endpoint as specified
  • Smart Running VM Handling: Detects running VMs and offers direct force deletion
  • Simplified Approach: Uses force deletion directly for running VMs (no stop-and-delete)
  • Force Delete Options: Supports force deletion with force, destroy-unreferenced-disks, and purge parameters
  • Cache Invalidation: Clears API cache after deletion to ensure VM is removed from list immediately
  • Delayed Refresh: Waits 3 seconds after deletion before refreshing to allow server processing
  • Proper error handling and success feedback with status messages
  • Automatic VM list refresh after successful deletion
  • Specialized delete operation handler that refreshes entire VM list instead of trying to refresh deleted VM
• Enhanced VM Operations: Improved all VM operations (start/stop/restart) with auto-refresh
  • Cache Invalidation: Clears API cache after each operation for fresh state data
  • Delayed Refresh: Waits 2 seconds after operations before refreshing VM data
  • DRY Implementation: Unified approach across all VM operations for consistency
  • Targeted Refresh: Uses VM-specific refresh to preserve selection and context
  • Immediate success feedback with automatic state updates
• Cluster Tasks Page: New dedicated page for viewing recent cluster tasks
  • Access via Tab navigation or F3 key
  • Shows task history with timestamps, status, duration, and details
  • Automatic sorting by newest tasks first
  • Colored status indicators (green for OK, red for errors, yellow for running)
  • Friendly task type formatting (e.g., "VM Start" instead of "qmstart")
  • Auto-refresh integration when tasks page is active
  • Comprehensive task type support for VMs, containers, backups, and system operations
    • VM Operations: Start, Stop, Restart, Shutdown, Reset, Reboot, Create, Delete, Clone, Migrate, Restore, Template
    • Container Operations: PCT and LXC variants (Start, Stop, Create, Delete, etc.)
    • System Operations: APT Update/Upgrade, Service management, Image operations, File transfers
    • Legacy LXC: vzcreate, vzstart, vzstop, vzdestroy and other vz* operations
  • Search Filtering: Full search support with / key activation
    • Real-time filtering across task ID, node, type, status, user, and UPID
    • Search state preservation during auto-refresh operations
    • Integrated with existing search system used by Nodes and Guests pages

Fixed

• TUI Suspend/Resume Issue: Fixed critical issue where users couldn't return to TUI after script installation or SSH sessions
  • Added app.Sync() calls after app.Suspend() to properly restore terminal state
  • Resolves the problem where "Press Enter to return to the TUI..." would not work
  • Applied fix to both script installation and SSH shell functionality
  • Based on known tview issue where terminal state doesn't restore properly after suspension
  • Users can now successfully return to the application after all suspend operations
• Unified Logging System: Fixed all packages to use unified log file instead of separate log files
  • Implemented global logger system that all packages (scripts, VNC services, etc.) now use
  • All components now log to the same proxmox-tui.log file in the configured cache directory
  • Eliminated multiple log files being created in current directory (scripts, VNC components)
  • Proper cache directory initialization ensures consistent logging location across all packages

Enhanced

• Press Enter to Return: Re-implemented "Press Enter to return to TUI" functionality for both script installation and SSH sessions
  • Users can now see complete script output and error messages before returning to the application
  • Status messages show success (✅) or failure (❌) with clear feedback
  • Applied to all SSH session types: node shells, LXC containers, QEMU VMs, and guest agent shells
  • Maintains the working suspend/resume pattern while providing better user control
  • Allows users to troubleshoot issues or verify successful installations before continuing
• Community Script Selector UI: Converted from modal to full-page view for better usability
  • Provides more screen real estate for script browsing and selection
  • Improved responsive layout that adapts to terminal size
  • Better integration with the overall application navigation flow
• Community Script Search: Added search functionality to the script selector
  • Real-time search filtering as you type in the search input field
  • Searches across script names, descriptions, and types (container/VM)
  • Press / or Tab to activate search mode from the script list
  • Press Escape to clear search and return to full script list
  • Press Enter or Tab to move from search field back to script list
  • Maintains all existing navigation (hjkl, arrows, backspace to go back)
  • Filtered results update instantly and preserve selection behavior

Improved

• Release process now fully automated from changelog to GitHub release
